Student Opinion Survey

UW Oshkosh uses a university-wide Student Opinion Survey (SOS) instrument for all sections of all courses that consists of a common set of question prompts. Qualtrics Classroom is the university’s course evaluation solution. It is a web-based course evaluation process for university faculty and students.

Course evaluations are open two weeks before the last day of term for 14-week classes and one week before the last day of term for 7-week and shorter classes.

A process for implementing department level questions is being developed by the Improvement of Instruction Committee. A list of approved lab instruction questions is below. In addition, departments with lab identifiers in PeopleSoft have the opportunity to select additional questions that will be included in the course evaluation. Instructors should contact their department chair to find out which questions their department has selected.
